    Hi guys;

    I've a weakness for the older 34mm Perpetuals and recently saw this one - is it just me or does some of the font, maybe just the 'T SWISS T', seem touched up? Perhaps just my eyes/the angle of the pic. Any thoughts are welcomed! :)

    i think it might the angle of the shot and the glass that might be throwing it off a bit. it doesnt look bad, unusually crisp for that age? maybe

    Looks fine to me.

    I also prefer these less typical bezels to the usual Rolex ones.

    An attractive watch, I think.

    Looks good to me, nice looking watch and love the bezel. Just be attentive to what’s going on beteen 3-5 o’clock on the edge of the dial and make sure you take that into consideration when negotiating

    Dial looks ok to me. The font in the T SWISS T is correct for the era. The wear between the 3-5 is common after pulling a movement out of a case after so many years. The lacquer on the dial stuck to the inside of the mid case and lifted the paint when removed.

    Its a good looking watch OP. The bezel is in fantastic shape and is usually worn down smooth. That one seems to still be quite sharp.

    Very nice watch. Good luck with the purchase. I need a dial for a ref 1003, this 1007 seems very similar does anyone have any information on the differences of these 1xxx series oyster perpetual’s?

    1002, 1003, 1007, etc. all have the same dial: 27mm oyster perpetual dial.
